Happy Birthday ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD
Post categories: HDTV
| 10:00 UK time, Sunday, 7 December 2008
I want to invite you to join me in raising a virtual glass - filled with whatever you fancy - to mark the first birthday of ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD.
Although I'm sure that some of you will have been with us since the trial days of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s HD broadcasts, back in 2006, the channel formally launched on 7th December last year, weeks after it was given approval by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Trust. In the last 12 months the HD family, of you the audience, and the programmes we have to offer you, has grown enormously and I feel very privileged to have become part of it all back in July.
As ever there have been teething pains - disappearing sound, and on occasions pictures, lip synch, picture quality and DOGs - but with 5 times the resolution comes, in some cases, 5 times the complexity and a whole new technology chain with which to become familiar. Although channels undoubtedly grow up faster than people - and in many cases their life expectancy may be less - ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD is still only a toddler and there's a fair amount of maturing to do. I hope that over the next year we will be able to offer more stable delivery and a richer mix of programming on the channel so that whatever your personal passions there is always something that you can find to engage with. ("two champagne glasses" from on flickr)
This space has been a really important place to share thinking over the last year thanks to you, and your contributions to it.
I hope that we'll grow further over the next year, but I believe that we're open enough to bring those who want to join us into this conversation, and I promise that those of us who work on ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD have no intention of getting either too grand or too busy to continue this conversation with you.
Do stay with us - and invite your friends as they gradually get HD connected into both this blog, and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD channel.
All the best
Danielle Nagler is Head of ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Vision

Primetime at weekends should not be overrun with repeats of Torchwood etc. which we have all seen many times already.

I am sure most of us are happy to have a `quality` HD channel doing what the ´óÏó´«Ã½ does best - quality programmes.
Like many others I feel there are things that need to change but hopefully that will come with time.
If I was to have a `wish list` for year 2 it would be ; DOG - get rid, Repeats - less of, Scheduling - give us at least simulcast of programmes & no more waiting for the HD broadcast days or weeks after airing on SD channel. Last of all please Santa bring me F1 in HD next season !
Cheers ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD !!!

Spookily my big TV is just over 1 year old as well.
It's a 42in Toshiba and I never would have bought a TV of this size for SD TV only.
Please keep up the drive for even higher HD picture quality as I intend to save up for an even bigger TV ;-)

Thanks for your efforts on reducing the impact of the HD DOG. I still do not agree with the reasons given for having anything disturbing the High Quality Pictures!
Please do not underestimate the value of 5.1 sound production. It adds a valued dimension to the HD experience!
I am not convinced that 16Mbps is sufficient bandwidth for HD with the current compression technology. How about a blind trial back to the rate used during the HD Trials.
I welcome you and your teams contributions to these blogs.

At 8th Dec 2008, Trev wrote:I have been very disappointed with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD service. I seem to remember the ´óÏó´«Ã½ talking about nearly all programs being in HD by 2010. This seems to be unlikley now.
The first issue is that a high proportion of the programs are repeats. Night after night I look at the scheduals to find repeat after repeat.
The second problem is having to continuously check to see if an SD program is available on HD. There should be a ´óÏó´«Ã½ One HD channel which would also provide better upscaled SD.
The third is that some HD versions of programs are put out at different times from the SD version making life even more difficult to find out if it is in HD.
The fourth is some programs are made in HD but broadcast in HD. A recent example was Steven Frys America series which is now available on Blu-ray but not transmitted in HD. I think that this would constitute a misuse of licence payers money. The primary resposibility is for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to provide programs not make money out of blu-ray sales.
The fifth is the lack of sport in HD. Sky seems to be able to produce live sport in HD most of the time. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ rarely provides sport in HD even when an HD feed is already available. Most of the premiership matches are recorded in HD but Match of the Day is still in SD. I am amaised that there is even a discusion about F1 being in HD.
Sixth is the lack of surroud sound. Too many programs are being output in stereo. Again Sky transmitts nearly all its football in 5.1.
Seventh is transmitting some of Strictly come dancing in HD and half is SD. This is the most stupid decision I have seen so far.
Actually I don't watch it any more because of the way Seargent was treated.
Eighth is Little Dorit being pulled from HD because of a change in schedule on ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1. There is absolutly no logical reason for doing that.
End of rant!.
The real challenge for ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD seems to be the viewing figures. The most popular program on ´óÏó´«Ã½ is Strictly Come Dancing. ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD with 51,000 viewers and ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1 with 10,700,000 viewers. Considering there must be a million households capable of receiving HD why are the figures so disproportionatly low. I can only think that people are either not aware that the HD version is available or they cannot be bothered to change channel. Of cource the lack of an HD version on Sunday adds to the confusion. I think having a ´óÏó´«Ã½ 1 HD channel could considerably increase the HD viewing figures.

It was very nice to see a film on ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD the other night - The Merchant of Venice - and a good one too. There are one or two films on at Christmas I will watch - Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Finding Neverland.
With respect to the BARB figures discrepency for strictly, I believe this just shows that you need more of the excellent trailers that have been on recently. On the other hand someone else might argue that the time should be utilized by something else as people clearly aren't interested?
I think really what the channel needs is the promise made earlier this year - full 9hrs by April 2009. Once you have the hours you just need to keep up on the marketing side and get more and more made in HD.

For all the disappointed viewers, take a look into other countrys. Here in germany we have to wait until 2010 to watch our public broadcasters in high definition. The private engagement has been canceled one year ago and the most popular pay tv provider offers only two HD-channels.

A repeat of the memorable Nigel Kennedy PROM would not go amiss as it was ruined in HD by a Peak White DOG along with other programmes for that evening.
The programmes over Christmas look good so keep up the good work in 2009.

you're kidding right? why would anyone not from the US want to watch the inauguration of a US President on tv, let alone on the HD channel?
i know we all want more HD content, but seriously, airing that would be taking things too far. i'd rather watch repeats of Robin Hood.
it was overkill enough on the Beeb during the election. just because Obama fits the left-wing, politically-correct, all-inclusive, multi-culti, liberal views of the Beeb it's no reason to treat him any differently to Bush, and we didn't need to watch him being inaugurated.
by all means have news and politics, but not US stuff. get Question Time, This Week, Newsnight etc. or more drama, sci-fi, light entertainment.
anything but Obama.

by all means argue for more HD content; i'll back you all the way. but not all programmes are worthy of HD treatment, and until we have multiple HD channels, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ should focus on those shows which deserve it.
and your point about 'all UK media outlets' covering this [non]-'event'; sure the papers'll have a few pages about it, but those of us not interested can skip those pages. if it's on the 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock news, well, at least it'll only be for a couple of minutes... and the only radio i listen to is Terry Wogan & Ken Bruce so i won't have to hear about it on the radio either.
but we only have 1 ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD channel and whilst we still only have it for limited hours, it should focus on entertainment, drama and documentaries.

I aggree with entertainment. Many panel shows could be shown in HD as they use a minimal number of camera positions.
And flagship shows such as Top Gear should be broadcast in HD.
Documentaries and drama have to be produced in HD because the television market dictates that HD copies should be made.
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ just needs to make sure it has the rights to show them on ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD.
Stephen Fry in America has not been shown despite a Blu-Ray edition being avaliable.
And Merlin will no doubt be shown in HD in the US.
Sports should be the real focus though.
As I said in my previous post
-Formula One.
-The 2010 Winter Olympics - It is only just over a year away now.
-Daytime coverage of the Skiing world cup which Eurosport HD currently broadcasts but the ´óÏó´«Ã½ hold joint rights to broadcast.
That will provide a great deal of weekend HD Sport coverage.
-Match of the Day and football focus.
-Championship League Football. 10 games from next season.
-1 Leg of the Carling cup final, both games.
-The Carling Cup Final from 2010.
-Autumn Internationals for the Irish, Scottish and Welsh Rugby teams and highlights of the England team.
-EDF Energy Cup and the Magners League rights that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ own.
-Challenge Cup and the Super League Show highlights show.
-Football League Highlights - Championship,League 1,2 and Carling Cup games. From next season.
-The Grand national.
-The Open.
-PGA Championship, the World Match Play Championship, the British Masters and the Scottish Open.
-And highlights of the Ryder Cup.
-The London based NFL game.
-Moto GP.
-Highlights of the 2009 ICC World Twenty20.
-World Snooker Championships.
-Masters Snooker, the UK Championship and the Grand Prix.
-BDO World Darts Championships
-The Australian and French Open Tennis finals and where any British player is involved.
-Tennis- British Davis Cup teams matches, Queen's Club Championships and Masters Tennis from the Albert Hall.
-Football - SPL highlights and Scottish FA Cup highlights.
-And any friendly or qualifying football games or highlights from the home nations that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ own.
Once the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has covered those rights it can also look at other sports to convert.
And continue to show
-All 6 Nations Rugby games.
-Wimbledon
-The Superbowl final.
-The US Masters.
And in the future.
The Commonwealth Games
I know sport isn't the only thing the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has and there will be those in favour of investment elsewhere.
But look at the BARB ratings.
´óÏó´«Ã½ HD for its current mixture of shows is pulling in a fraction of the audience that the shows reach on ´óÏó´«Ã½1 and 2.
And this is despite the number of HD homes being around 1.1 million.
?
Bringing in sport not only will drive up the number of hours of ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD but it will drive up awareness of ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD and the rest of its programming.
Since a great deal of it is already produced in HD its a case of just upgrading the studios and production and editing chain.
Take football. It is all produced in HD at the premiership level so for MOTD its a case of editing the highlights in HD and changing the studio over to HD.
The same goes for the 6 nations, it is all produced in HD yet the Autumn internationals aren't.

I am wondering if you are aware at ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD how much better the picture quality is when a program has been filmed in HD?
I have just been watching a recording I made of Apperitions on my Freeview PVR and the picture quality was stunning, I really had to look twice!
So if you filmed everything in HD, then its a win win situation for ALL of your viewers, because those who have HD can benefit obviously and so can the viewers who can't view HD.
(Good argument for raising the budget! ;) )
I would love to see everything being filmed and broadcast via HD. I realise that it is more costly to do so at this point in time, but as always I look to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to lead and others will then follow. HD is the future.

this is of course, a total lie as there is and always has been equally as much (if not more) behind the scenes clips on the main show.
the real reason is because Auntie cares more about ´óÏó´«Ã½1 and want's people to tune in there so they can have big viewing figures to show off.

Please can we have some more thought put into the evening scheduling and at least a few more good HD, 5.1, films.
